9 healthy ways to lose weight fast.

There are different methods to slim down. Most of them make you hungry and unsatisfied.

Here are failed proof ways to slim down fast.

Make a moment for breakfast

Skipping meals won't make you lose weight faster, so fill up in the morning and start your day off on the right foot. Try creamy smoothie bowl that rich in fiber, protein, and healthy fat.

Wake up with water

Always drink 16 ounces of water when you wake up. Staying hydration early in the day gets your day off on the right foot.

Grill your veggies

Grilling is one of the healthiest cooking methods if you want to slim down. BBQ adds a boost of smoky flavor. Veggies taste so different grilled, you'll want to load them on your plate.

Choose fish over red meat

Fatty fish (salmon, halibut, tuna) and shellfish (mussels, shrimp) are great sources of omega 3 fatty acids. Plus, they're a great source of lean protein. Grill them up and go to town.

Add veggies to every meal and snack

Throw a handful of spinach into your omelet, add sliced cucumbers and bell peppers to your sandwich, or pair a plum with trail mix. They are loaded with nutrients and fiber, helping you fill up.

Scan the label

Always look out for the nutritionist-approved emblem before buying any canned food.

Ditch your gum habit

While chewing gum can be a great way to sidestep sweet cravings, the sugar alcohols (ingredients ending in "ol" on the label) can make some people feel bloated. Know which camp you're in, and skip it if necessary.

Treat yourself daily

According to research, you have about 200 "free" calories daily where you can (and should) indulge. Have an ice pop, fruity cocktail, or scoop of ice cream. Enjoy it without guilt.

Switch to unsweetened dairy

Avoid sweetened yogurts are so sugary you might as well be eating dessert. Buy unsweetened yogurt and plant-based kinds of milk. If you'd like, add fruit to your yogurt to naturally sweeten it yourself.
